E. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Where fitted remove the frontplate fixing screws from the
back of the product.
2. Ensure that the mounting box is firmly secured in position
and there is sufficient cable protruding for connection.
3. If fitting a modular product fit the appropriate mounting
frame to the wall box.
Do not over tighten the screws, to do so may damage the
screw threads, frontplate or mounting frame.
Ensure that any metal frame is earthed as required.
4. Carefully strip 50mm of the telephone cable outer sheath to
expose the inner insulated conductors.
5. Using a suitable IDC insertion tool, (e.g. MK list No.
400NAT) carefully push each lead into the appropriate
IDC terminal according to the wiring colour code stated in
Figure 2.
Pins 1 and 6 are frequently unused, 4 wire cable may be
used in these installations.
Note: If an existing installation uses a different wiring
colour code system, this should be retained on any new or
extended installation.
6. Trim off any excess inner conductors protruding from the
IDC terminals.
7. Secure the cable to the product at the cable tie fixing point
indicated in Figure 2 using the cable tie supplied.
8. Carefully push the wired unit back into the mounting box or
modular mounting frame ensuring that the cable does not
have any sharp bends and is not trapped or pinched.
With modular products locate the bottom snap-fit and then
carefully push home the top snap-fit.
9. Where relevant fit the decorative modular frontplate and if
applicable then locate and tighten any frontplate fixing
screws.
Do not over tighten the screws, to do so may damage the
frontplate or screw threads.
This product must be installed by a competent person in
accordance with the current editions of the IEE Wiring

Guarantee does not restrict or infringe the normal statutory or
other rights of the customer.

F. MODULE REMOVAL
1. Remove the decorative frontplate from the mounting frame
by removing the fixing screws. For frontplates without
fixing screws, (e.g. Accent), remove the frontplate by
carefully unclipping the frontplate from the mounting frame.
This will leave the mounting frame still fixed to the wall box
with the modules clipped into it.
In the case of Logic Plus modular system the frontplate
must be removed from the wall box as the modules clip
directly into the frontplate
2. To remove the modules from the mounting frame carefully
depress the snap-fits using a suitable flat bladed
screwdriver and gently remove the module from the frame.
With the Logic Plus modular system the snapfits will need
to be depressed from the rear.
